Nikka Coffey Gin 47% Bottle 700mL

Description

Coffey Gin’s complexity is achieved through the perfect balance between 11 selected botanicals and the silky texture of Coffey distillates. The bright and zesty aroma originating from four kinds of Japanese citruses, Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar, compliments the traditional gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon and orange peels. There is also a touch of apples, a fruit deeply related to the history of Nikka, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish. NOSE: An extremely fragrant aroma reveals incredibly intense lime and orange blossom that develops into a milkier (coconut), luscious (juniper), spicy (grey pepper, pink peppercorn) and stone fruit (apricot) register. PALATE: At once lively and floral with plants (sage, verbena). On the mid-palate, citrus fruit, lemon and ripe fruits (apple, pear) take the upper hand before in turn being covered in strong spices such as star anise & grated ginger. FINISH: Is like chewing on a liquorice stick. Its verdant character evokes green tea and mint tea. Bitter oranges give the end of the palate lots of energy.
